Faloon, Anna Elizabeth (2015-12-16)The engineering design discipline of hydrology and hydraulics has, for the past several decades, been largely based on probabilistic design techniques involving recurrence interval storm and flood events. The engineering ...
-
Patil, Sandeep 1986- (2013-01-14)Meteorological drought indices are commonly calculated from climatic stations that have long-term historical data and then converted to a regular grid using spatial interpolation methods. The gridded drought indices are ...
-
Xu, Rui (2010-10-12)Ultra-wideband technology (UWB) has received tremendous attention since the FCC license release in 2002, which expedited the research and development of UWB technologies on consumer products. The applications of UWB range ...
-
Tillman, Dorothy Hamlin (2009-05-15)In recent years new ideas for nutrient management to control eutrophication in estuarine environments have been under consideration. One popular approach being considered in the Chesapeake Bay Program is called the “top ...
-
Hoffpauir, Richard James (2011-02-22)Surface water availability models often use monthly simulation time steps for reasons of data availability, model parameter parsimony, and reduced computational time. Representing realistic streamflow variability, ...
-
Rana, Samagra (2016-04-26)Soil moisture is an important component in many hydrologic and land– atmosphere interactions. Proper characterization of soil moisture variability is vital for understanding hydrological, ecological and biogeochemical ...
-
Ryu, Minkyu (2015-09-23)The objectives of the dissertation research are (1) to improve and expand capabilities for developing naturalized or otherwise homogenous river flows representing specified conditions of basin development for input to ...
-
Miller, Heather (2012-10-19)Conceptualizations of earth's surficial systems pose challenges to scientists, novice teachers, and students alike, because they are variable, non-linear, and dynamic. Developing scientific models of these systems allow ...

Narasimhan, Balaji (Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)Farming communities in the United States and around the world lose billions of dollars every year due to drought. Drought Indices such as the Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI) and Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) ...
-
Fuller, Christopher Byron (2012-07-16)The ecological effects and mechanistic efficiency of chemical oil spill countermeasures must be evaluated prior to their ethical application during real spill response scenarios. Equally important is the ability to monitor ...
-
Muñoz Ordoñez, Leslie (2015-04-29)The population growth in Houston over the last 30 years has been one of the fastest in the nation. Several studies have linked urbanization with increased runoff volume and peak discharges. For the watershed of Sims Bayou ...
-
Cristancho, Camilo Andres (2017-07-17)The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) has established environmental flow standards in seven river systems through a process defined by the Texas Legislature in its 2007 Senate Bill 3 (SB3). The environmental ...
-
Mylevaganam, Sivarajah (2010-07-14)In Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT), oftentimes, Critical Source Area (CSA), the minimum upstream drainage area that is required to initiate a stream, is used to subdivide a watershed. In the current literature, CSA ...
-
Lazenby, Lynn Anne (Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)In 1998, two upper North Bosque River segments were designated as impaired due to the nonpoint source (NPS) pollution of phosphorus (P) to these segments in the watershed. As a result, two Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) ...
-
Rivera Ramirez, Hector David (Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)The main objective of this research is to devise a risk-based methodology for developing emergency operation schedules (EOS). EOS are decision tools that provide guidance to reservoir operators in charge of making real-time ...
-
DuMont, Andrea Lyn (2014-04-24)Costa Rican tropical premontane rainforests are among the world's most valuable ecosystems in terms of diversity of animals, plants, and natural resources. These environments are dependent on water resources which fluctuate ...
-
Hsu, Chih-Hung (2014-08-10)Hurricane surge floods have caused devastating damage along coastal areas all over the world. Yet many recent studies have shown that global warming could increase the hurricane flooding damage by hurricane intensification ...
